To all whom 2'2 may concern Y Be it known that 1, JOHN E. DWYER, acitizen of' the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county ofClark, State of 5 Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Return-Airships; and. I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable other skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse. the

same.

This invention relates to a return airship.

An object of the invention resides in the .provision of a device of thecharacter specified which may be easily and cheaply man utactured andwhich is made from one piece of material.

Viith thisand other objects in View, such as will appear as mydescription progresses, my invention comprises the combination andarrangement of parts as set forth in and falling within the scope of theappended claims.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a device constrncted in accordancewith my invention;

Fig. 2 is a fragmental detail showing the manner of securing the twoedges of the dea F'g'. 3' is a fragmental sectional view takentransversely of the machine, and

' Fig. d is a view of the blank.

Referring to the drawingrby refdr ence 85 characters wherein like partscre indicated by like characters throughout the several views:

In the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, I haveillustrated a device which consists of upper and lower planes 1 and 2.Extending between and formed of the planes integral withthe' rear e area lurality of struts 3. xtending downwordy from the forward edge of theupper 455 plane 1 are a plurality of struts 4:, which struts are joinedtogether at their lower ends by a strip 5, on which strips fasteningears em formed, which ears are bent back upon themselves and through.openings '2' in 5*!) the lower plane 2- so as to. secure the front"struts-Lin place. Aiportion of the material lichiierms' thelowerplanefi 3S struck out to-qitormyportions 8 which represent wheels.'Fomne'dmtegral with and extending ont- .:.Btiwardly iromthe rear edgesof the lower spirit or" the invention or exceeding the scope plane 2 isa tail 9 which represents that of a bird and extending outwardly fromthe forward edge of this plane 2 is a portion 10 which represents thehead of a bird and on which portion fans 11 are formed. The portion ofthe lower plane 2 which lies between the tail 9 and the head 10 isembossed to represent the body of" the bird. A pair of. holes 12 areformed in the opposite diagonal corners of the upper plane 1 and aresilient member 13 is mounted in these holes, on the end of whichresilient member a ring is secured. The resilient member is provided sothat the device may be readily suspended from a suitable support, thering facihtatin 7c the attachment or" the member 13 to the said support.

By an inspection of Fig. 4 of'the drawing, in which the partsjustdescribed have been indicated by the'samc reference characters; it willbe noted that the entire device is stamped fron'r'one piece of material.

Whil I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment of myinvention, it has merely been for the sake of convenience and I do notwish to be limited to that par; ticular embodiment as it is obivons that:numerous changes may be made in the details of construction withoutdeparting from-the of the appendedclaims. I 3

What I claim is: 1. In a device of the class described, the combinationwith a pair of spaced planes, of struts formed integral with the rear edes of each of said planes andextending e" tween the ame, struts -formedintegral with the forward edge -oi onefof the planes, a strip secnrili gthe" ends; efijtlielastimentioned struts together "andrmeansfor-securing the said strip" t6 the forward-edgegctthe adja-' centplane.

2. In a device of the a pair of planes, 'strutsfsupportin vth'e same inspaced relaticn, and a taiL-hea. andfan mempiece of material. y Intestimony whereof, I aflix my signature,
